Hi all- I was sleeved on July 9th, so I am about 6 weeks post op. I lost 22 lbs from week 1-5, but this last week (maybe two weeks actually) the scale has not budged!! Today, I even gained a lbs. How is this possible? I am tracking my calories with MyFitnessPal, and I can barely even finish any of the things I prepare, so my caloric intake is actually LESS than what I'm recording. I have started riding my bike again, and walking. I used to do NOTHING everyday, so this increase in activity is monumental, and theoretically should boost my metabolism. I am 34, so is my metabolism just shot now? Is this a thyroid thing? I've had my thyroid tested before, and the levels were normal. In the past when I have lost weight (I have lost around 70 lbs before, multiple times, and just put it back on) I would never plateau. I would lose a steady 2-5 lbs per week.

What AM I wrong????!!!

I'm so frustrated!!!

Is this a duplicate thread?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
